Many Impartaiit Problems acing Fi Ottawa, Feb, 28.--With the es- ablishment of a separate depart- nent of fisheries, with a fisheries ninister, as announced by Premier Mackenzie King at the present ses- don of Parliament, that office will ave b. steadily multiplying re- iponsibilities of Canada's growing ing industry to foster and en- sourage. The announcement of the government's decision awakened rticular interest in fisheries at © present time. According to the latest figures, Canada's fishing in fustry for 1928 showed consider. able gains in production and in- sreased profits, and prospects for 1929, the fisheries' department has announced are even more encour aging. Atlantic fisheries last year show- od unmistakable improvement over the previous year, with the fishing fleets out of Nova Scotia parts ac- tively building to prepare for an- other season of unusual activity The government-subsidized fish col- lecting service, which met with suc- cess, will be extended this year and will further assist the growth of industry and facilitate the mare keting of fresh fish, On th: Pacific seaboard there was a feeling of optimism officials of the department of fisheries de- clared, brought about not only by the excellent catches but by the attitudes of the Dominion govern. ment in refusing to consider, for the time being at least, anplica- tions for mew canneries in British Columbia, Quantity Increased Although, since 1913, the sock- eye salmon catch had béen show- Ing a steady decrease, the quantity of the 1928 pack was greater by 750,000 cases than that of the year previous, This was account- od for by the growing amount of cheaper grade fish which is in- sluded in the pack. The 2,000.000 sase pack last year was valued in British Columbia at $14,000,000 In addition to the salmon in Bri. tsh Columbia there were 30,000, 500 pounds of halibut landings from northern waters, an increase over the 1927 catch of 2.000,000 pounds, Yet halibut sloops yearly are fore» ed to search farther and farther afield for their catch for the hali- but is apparently decreasing and reproduction does not appear to he keeping pace with the demands made upon the halibut banks, The question of conservation of this fish will be one of the* most im- portant that the new department of [290 W.

Taken as a whole the Dominion's fish and fish products will approxi- mate $66.000,000 in value for 1928, which is about $5,000,000 more than 1927, highest figure reached in the coun try's history, and second highest since 1919, } Chief Increases A resume of conditions, suppli ed by the department of fisherles, states that while the fisheries of Gaspe coast, the Great Lakes and the western provinces were well sustained, the chief increases in the catch were in British Columbia and Nova Scotia, In Nova Scotia, where the cod and haddock yleld was heavy, the lobster catch was excellent, The increase in the to- tal catch was 20,000,000 pounds The shore fishermen of the east and west coasts and the Bay of Fundy, were "particularly fortun- ate," the statement says, Prices, too, were steady and showed an in- crease, The, dried fish trade, centred in the Lunenberg Grand Banks fleet, was in better condition than for some years past, Total landings were 270,000 quintals, The demand for this commodity and better prices have had a heartening effect on the industry. and lent it impe- tus for 1929, The lobster catch was valued at approximatelp $3, 500,000, in which Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Magdalen Islands and the Quebec fishermen participated, United States markets took the great proportion of the catch, Canada's fish are exported to more than 90 different countries, furnishing a heavy trade balance, For the year ending March 31, 1928, they had reached $34.646, 646, against an import total of $3, In 1928, figures show, more than 85,000 persons were employed in the fishing industry, Of these 65, 000 were engaged in actual catch- 000 were in canning and curing establishments, "The outlook," the department comments, "is of a most hopeful nature," The government's deci- sion to create a fisheries portfolio would indicate, it is suggested, the Machinery Repairing NOTHING TOO LARGE NOTHING TOO SMALL Adanac Machine Shop 161 King St. W, Phone 12 For Your Drug Needs THO».

NEW MOVIE RULES FRAMED IN FRANGE Proposed Plans Would In. crease Foreign Films Entry Restrictions Paris, March 1.--Plans to increase entry restrictions on foreign films-- principally American -- have been prepared by French producers and distributors for submission to the Cinema Control Commission, Rules put into effect last year, after Will Hays, president of the Motion Picture Producers and Distributors of Amer- ica, Inc., came to Paris in behalf of the American industry, expire on March 1, American distributors in Paris say that the new regulations are striefer, and that they again will be faced with the necessity of closing their offices if the revised rules are adopted. After Mr, Hays' visif, the Control Commission agreed to give permits for the distribution of seven foreign films for every 100 per cent, French film produced, Two plans now under considera- tion contemplate a flat import limit and regulations making it necessary to have produced one native picture for only five foreign films distribut- ed, instead of the present seven. Either plan is more stringent than any yet proposed, even before Mr. Hays came over. One has been pre- pared by the producers' section of the Chambre Syndicale du Cinema, and calls for a flat limit gn imports to 350 films and a maximum of five permits for distribution for each for- eign film distributed. Distributors' Plan The other plan has been drawn up by the distributors' section. It favors an import limit of 400 films, and with each registered distributor to receive five permits flat with con- tingent increase. A- meeting of the Chambre Syndi- cale du Cinema will be held before the end of the week in an effort to compromise the two plans. are afraid that this will be successful. The result will mission as the preferable regulations Control Commission, The French say import permits is. sued under last year's regulations were not used, and that there is no need for more than 350 or 400 for- eign films for the French market, On the other hand, Americans contend the permits were not used because many films were rushed in before the quota rule became effective, and that there are actually 847 foreign films on the market here. Harold L, Smith, Buropean man- ager for Mr, Hayes, has been trying to negotiate with the French, He reports they want Americans to in- vest in the French industry, which needs money, The Americans also are annoyed because they have been unable to learn what transpived two weeks ago at the "Film Week Con. ference," at which a number of men influential outside of the industry were addressed in secret by Daniel Serrays, former tax expert and Min. : ister of Commerce, who now is help ing the film industry solve its for- eign competition problem, SPEED TEST MADE.
